About this ebook
The War of the Worlds is a science written by H. G. Wells. It was first published serially in the UK and the USA. Considered a landmark work of science fiction, this novel details a cataclysmic conflict between humans and extraterrestrial ‘Martians.’ Since its publication, The War of the Worlds has inspired numerous adaptations and imitations. Based on the experience of an unidentified male narrator and his brother, the novel records the events of a Martian invasion. The narrator sees flashes of light on the surface of Mars through a telescope at an observatory in Ottershaw, England.
This happens when Mars comes closer to the Earth. This is conveyed to, Ogilvy, his companion, who is a well-known astronomer. Ogilvy, however, dismisses the idea that the flashes are an indication of life on Mars. According to Ogilvy, chances against anything manlike on Mars are a million to one even though the flashes continue for several nights. Questions of order and hierarchy are the key issues around which The War of the Worlds revolves.
